I was wondering if anyone could help me out with responce issues i am having. I added a counter on the footer of my forum but I have to take it off because it was slowing the site down alot. Since then the portal and forum index have been slow responding. I've uploaded a new copy of the footer and everything. All of the pages but portal and forum index are at the speed they should be

The counter is not in there anymore. I've uploaded a whole new footer file since then.

Anyway: I've checked a couple of random pages, and they all seem pretty slow to me; might have something to do with the endless hordes of layout tables. Your markup could do with some hours on a CSS stairmaster; I'd also advice to place all scripts in external files and link to them, especially the ones that appear on every page. That way, at least you can benefit from the scripts being cached.
